Sure, and if he ends up second it will be by one of them keeping the other from going first, the way I see it. I just don't see their block being either/or. Now Styles/Tanahashi? That's a decision match assed decision match

And if Nakamura's last match is against Okada, it's just a weird thing if he ultimately wins the G1 because I would imagine he would lose in the G1 to Okada, to then get the rematch win. Something weird is going to happen in Block B, I'm not sure what it's going to be, but it's going to be weird. UNLESS, Nakamura wins the G1 and Okada drops the title before WK. That's always possible I guess.

After watching Dominion I'm still super high on Naito. I've been riding him since the New Japan Cup so I'm staying on the bandwagon. But whether he wins the G1 Climax or not I feel really bad for whatever asshole he faces in the Tokyo Dome

I've been on the Naito bandwagon all year so I'm not getting off now, and I believe in Blue Justice o7

I don't think there's going to be a 3rd place match this year so I'm not going to predict that.

As for biggest upsets, I think Honma wins two matches: His final day match against Takahashi (which couldn't be more obviously set up for it), and he wins one of his main event matches, and I'm taking the one against...Nakamura

Biggest A Block upset I have is Tanahashi dropping a match to Doc Gallows in Morioka

With Naito's heelish antics of late, I think him getting rolled up by Tenzan when he doesn't expect it is something that could be in play.

I thought about having Naito beat out Tanahashi but decided against it. Have Ibushi going far because he seems like someone they are anointing for the future (and had him beat Tanahashi as well). Really considered Tanahashi defeating Nakamura to get him his 2nd G1 and have Tanahashi challenge Okada against at WK10 but ultimately decided against it. I still think that's a legit possible direction for them.

So essentially, I had Ibushi beat Styles and Tanahashi, lose to Naito but win the tiebreaker over all 3 of them since he was the only one to beat Tanahashi. I had Ibushi trip up over the stumbling blocks and had him lose to Bad Luck Fale, Shibata and Yano as his "learning experience" in this G1.
